According to the road transport department (JPJ), 64% of commercial vehicle operators audited during a special operation failed to meet mandatory safety requirements. The nationwide operation known as Ops Khas JISA (JPJ Inspection Safety Audit) began on June 23, said JPJ director-general Datuk Aedy Fadly Ramli.
Out of the 133 companies audited, 85 failed to comply with JISA guidelines, while only 48 passed. “The non-compliant companies comprised 43 lorry operators and 42 tour and express bus operators,” Aedy Fadly said, as reported by Bernama.
Among the key violations were the failure to appoint occupational safety and health officers, a lack of GPS installation in all vehicles as well as poor GPS monitoring practices. Many companies also failed to record drivers’ working hours, which must not exceed eight hours a day, and did not ensure a minimum 30-minute break every four hours of driving.
Additionally, some companies did not have safety action plans in place and did not display hotline numbers or the names of responsible officers on their vehicles for public complaints. “The department will submit the list of non-compliant companies to the Land Public Transport Agency (APAD) for further action, including possible suspension or cancellation of operating licences,” said Aedy Fadly.

Wow! It takes a special ops to identify the non-compliance issues. So what has JPJ been doing all this time? I opined that the JPJ has to be revamped from top to bottom to address all these issues.
Should also be asking how did Puspacon clear all these vehicles to be road worthy wonder what colour papers or stickers used to determine which is undertable.
Please read the article before comment, don’t just look at the picture.
